Ltd Co. Growth Grant ~ 25K ~ Open Until Feb 2022 ~ Cheshire and Other Areas
Evening All, Thought I'd let the thread run for a bit, then review the comments. Looking through the responses, I'd say they fall into two categories. 1) Posts from people that genuinely don't know how to write a good business plan & grant application. By extension, it's then incorrectly...- killingtime

This part: You just made that up didn't you... go on, be honest. If you didn't, please link to the govt. publication that clarifies this. I'll bet you can't. This is the problem with judging an application on moral grounds. People just make it up as they go along, and then act as though it's...- killingtime

OK. It depends on what you do for a living. If you only need a laptop to do your job (a bum on seat) then asking for funding is a bit OTT. The equipment I use for my job costs anywhere from 5K to 50K. anything above 10K I rent. I don't need emergency funding. The grant wasn't an emergency...- killingtime

Dream on northernladuk. So you say.. One question; who appointed you to the role of grant assessor? Did that role need any qualifications? I'll bet not...And I'll bet the role was self appointed. Am I right? You know this how exactly? Can you even give me his name? Delusions of grandeur...- killingtime

I'd love to know at what point I massaged the truth, or told outright lies.... Please insert the quote. I've not modified any of my posts. The issue here is that we're dealing with differing rules of morality (everyone is different), and those rules are getting in the way of deciding whether a...- killingtime

You're over thinking this malvolio. As I said further up this thread, all grants have qualifying criteria. You either meet the criteria or you don't. If you do then it entitles you to the money - legally. Anything else is a moral conundrum that only exists in your head. Nowhere else. >>because...- killingtime

I don't see what the above has to do with making a grant application. You've obviously come on here to quarrel. If you don't like the grant then don't apply for it. It's your loss not mine. Regards.- killingtime

I'm not going to hold your hand through a grant application. If you're running a business you should be able to do this. You may be a bum on seat, but I'm not. I pivoted away from that just before IR35 hit. You might feel the need to use liberal doses of untruths to achieve a positive outcome...- killingtime

Yes. I know of 3 company directors that took out 100% bounce back loans when the pandemic started. They all tup'd their staff across to new companies and are letting the old companies become insolvent. All the assets gone, nothing left for the government (who made the loan guarantee) to recover...- killingtime

If you can't figure out how to use money to grow your business (or offset a negative interruption), then you're really in no position to be running a business IMHO. The fact the money is coming from a grant is irrelevant. It may stink to you, but that's because from the questions you're asking...- killingtime

You really are over thinking this northernladuk. All grants have qualifying criteria. You either meet the criteria or you don't, and you won't find out unless you apply. Yes, I got all of the grant I applied for, without lying or embellishing the application. >>would you like to give us some...- killingtime

Hi, I'd like to bring the following to your attention. It was news to me. The UK government launched a pandemic grant fund for SME companies back in late 2021. This is not the same as the furlough scheme. An overview can be found below...- killingtime

Contract clauses covering Covid
As per the very 1st line of this thread, I was asking about clauses in the contract, if any.... No one has replied with anything specific, so it looks like the answer so far is 'none'.- killingtime

Contract clauses covering Covid
Fixed.... You can still get ill if you're vaccinated, it just doesn't kill you. I started thinking about this because a friend fell ill with Covid after being summoned back into the office. Double jabbed. He's a civil servant, so his job is pretty much secure, and if it isn't he's got a...- killingtime

Contract clauses covering Covid
What are people looking for in their contract regarding liability while in contract - as relates to Covid & inability to work in general - if anything? I doubt many companies in general are changing their B2B contracts, but then most companies don't send staff to work remotely at the offices of...- killingtime
